THEME SONG & ENTRANCE
Theme Music: 'Exhibit C' – Jay Electronica
SHORT ENTRANCE: As the infectious beat from "Exhibit C" by Jay Electronica comes on, The Lad steps out from behind the curtain. Massaging his wrist, he stares out to the world before him. He puts up a quiet prayer before marching down the ramp. He offers quick high-fives to those who put out their hands. With his head lowered, he looks at the ring and hits the stairs. Once on the ring apron, he pays his respects by cleaning his feet. When he gets in the ring, he goes to his corner and waits.
MAIN EVENT / PPV ENTRANCE:
EWC Television Championship Entrance:
♫ IT'S COMING
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN; THIS TIME AROUND
THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED, WOO! ♫
“Exhibit C” by Jay Electronica starts up, leading to the arrival of The Lad. Standing on the stage, he looks out to the world before him. Carrying his EWC Television Championship in his hand, he performs the Sign of the Cross, blows a kiss to the ceiling, and then pats his chest. He lines the championship into both of his hands and raises it high.
With his championship high above his head, a proud champion, Lad starts his trek down to the ring. He keeps his head lowered, the black towel resting around his neck swaying. Once he approaches the end of the ring, he goes to both sides of the crowd to give love. Once done, he eyes the ring and takes off for the stairs.
Once he’s there, The Lad wipes his boots on the ring apron. He heads for the turnbuckle, scaling from where he stood. There, he raises his championship high before leaping into the ring. Once again, he lifts his gold high to the adoration of the audience. He lowers it back, then rests it against the nearest turnbuckle. He starts to stretch, getting his body loose and battle ready.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
Tendency to Cheat (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):
- [x] Never
Motivation to Compete (Delete ALL that do NOT apply):
- [x] Financial Gain; they want to get rich and will do anything to achieve that.
- [x] Passion; they love wrestling and don't care about winning or losing, just fighting.
Favorite Match Types: Singles Matches
Least Favorite Match Types: Ladder Matches
[OPTIONAL] Favorite Weapon: N/A; he will never use a weapon deliberately. He may put someone through a table or throw someone into a ladder. But he won't ever just pick up a chair and swing. It's not in his nature.
Fighting Style: 50% Shoot Wrestling, 50% Lucha Libre
Ring Strategy: Despite his moveset being linked to slower-paced, he wrestles like a Jr. Heavyweight. He's fast and bears a lot of counters in his head. He prefers to keep it fast and use his natural athleticism to his advantage. Once he's softened up people with crazy suplexes, he'll start to sink his submissions.
In-Ring Strengths:
BUILT FORD TOUGH - Lad isn't going to go down with a fight. Where he may lose out on other aspects, it's the foot race of durability that he thrives in. It's what makes the people that love him drawn to him. Tenacious, unwilling to compromise, and knows that. He will tap out when he has no other options. He will kickout until his body refuses. Maybe it's his rougher lifestyle that got him here. Maybe it's something supernatural. He doesn't know nor does he seek an answer.
UNSEEN HITS HURT THE MOST - The Lad finds most of his offense through counter-hitting. He's clever enough to devise counters for just about anything. He understands that the shock of being hit when you're not expecting it is what does most boxers in.
PATIENT LIKE A SAGE - It's a long road to the top. The Lad gets that. Therefore, he understands that he cannot rush things. This strength is more in line with his personality. He's not going to push against management or his peers. He's a straight-laced sort of fellow. He enjoys the process. It makes him a good tag team partner as he tries to understand his allies more than trying to assert himself. That's not to say that he falls in line. The Lad just gets that there's no need to be ruthless all the time. Life's hard enough.
In-Ring Flaws:
NOT A PRODIGY - Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. Wrestling never came naturally to The Lad. He was a fighter first. Therefore, some of the intricacies of wrestling don't meet him. Gimmick matches are an unknown to him. He doesn't try to use the ring as a weapon. That straight-laced mentality of his makes him an easy target in the eyes of the more prodigious and scheming individuals of the wrestling world.
A LITTLE TOO HONEST - Unfortunately, The Lad thinks that the only thing he will have at the end is his morals. He's not going to cheat. He's not going to turn his back on those who trust him. He's not going to take the easy way out. Even the best people may take the low road on occasion without meaning to. The Lad's foolish in his beliefs. This makes him admittedly easy to manipulate on the forefront. Charlatan words won't reach him but putting him in hard situations is a possibility.
A FEW INJURIES FROM BEFORE - The Lad has a few messed up pieces. Years of fighting and malnutrition may have made for some...functionality issues. The most notable is his partial blindness in his right eye. It's not notable on first glance but it's exploitable over time.

MINI BIOGRAPHY
The Lad was born into a rough environment as many stories go. His father left his mother. His mother left him. But what she did was the best that a young woman could do. She left the Boy in the care of a Pastor Morales. Morales was an ex-con that became a man of the faith. He taught the Boy how to live, how to fight, and how to thrive. The Boy wanted to become a pro wrestler. Despite his objections, Pastor Morales made sure that he would excel. But he gave him a goal. He wouldn't earn his name until he became a champion. The Lad would go on to take the name "Lad", since he was no longer a boy.
